There has been a lot of buzz around ECB’s new tournament and format, The Hundred. The draft took place recently and teams chose players instead of bidding for them. Thus, in the end, each of the eight teams has 15-member squads. However, 12 of them are local players and only three overseas players were allowed in one squad.

Thus, while most of the big names were picked, there were some huge names that didn’t attract any team. The likes of Chris Gayle, Lasith Malinga, Kagiso Rabada, Dwayne Bravo and many more were overlooked. However, these players are a part of the IPL teams.

There are certain players who don’t have IPL contracts either. But they have been doing well and hence, stand a chance of getting picked in the IPL auctions this year. Thus, here are five players who were unsold in The Hundred draft but can get good bids in the IPL 2020 auctions.

If there is one Australian player who has come a long way in 2019, it has to be Alex Carey. He made his international debut in a T20 in early 2018. However, a few months later, he replaced Tim Paine in the ODI team as well and hasn’t looked back since. But it hasn’t been all rosy for the left-hander.

Carey has never had a fixed batting position in the Australian line-up. He has floated around constantly which hasn’t helped. Hence, he didn’t have a lot to show with the bat. But he was very impressive in the World Cup. The wicketkeeper-batsman scored 375 runs at an average of 62.50 and had a strike-rate of 104.17.

The Australian stumper backed this up with a good season in the T20 Blast. Playing for Sussex, Carey amassed 264 runs at an average of 37.71 and a strike-rate of 152.60. Hence, it was pretty surprising when he found no buyers in The Hundred. But Carey may well have attracted a few IPL franchises with the way he’s played. He can bat anywhere in the order and be very effective as well. Hence, he can attract good bids in the upcoming auctions.

James Neesham is probably one of the most underrated all-rounders in world cricket at the moment. More often than not, Neesham slips under the radar and hardly gets noticed. He does his job quietly, contributing in all three departments and yet, doesn’t hog the limelight.

The Kiwi all-rounder had a very good World Cup and no one even gave it a proper look. He was New Zealand’s third-best batsman (in terms of runs and average) and third-best bowler as well. He scored 232 runs at an average of 33.14 and took 15 wickets at an average of 19.46.

These are excellent numbers and yet they’ve gone unnoticed. He even performed well in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL). However, he couldn’t attract any team in the draft for The Hundred. However, with the IPL auctions coming up and more overseas players allowed than The Hundred, Neesham could well be in with a chance of attracting some good and handsome bids. In fact, his all-round ability might work in his favour as well.

One of the common names you’ll see these days in the Sri Lankan white-ball teams is Isuru Udana. The left-arm pacer made his debut a decade ago but it was only in this year, he rose up the ranks once again. He is a pretty effective limited-overs cricketer.

Udana has quite a few variations and is good at the death. Meanwhile, he can give the ball a real tonk as well. However, his skills went unnoticed at The Hundred draft. The 31-year-old has been in good form as well. He picked up five wickets in two T20Is against Pakistan and was one of Sri Lanka’s key pacers.

Moreover, he was also decent at the World Cup where he finished as his team’s second-best bowler. Hence, there are chances that he might get some bids in the upcoming IPL auctions for the 2020 season. Udana’s effectiveness at the death and also handy contributions with the bat make him a decent option.

(Photo by Randy Brooks &#8211; CPL T20/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Sheldon Cottrell has been the best bowler for the West Indies in the recent past in white-ball cricket. In fact, he has become their premier fast bowler in limited-overs cricket. Be it ODI cricket or T20s, the left-arm pacer has this happy knack of picking up wickets regularly.

He did it in the World Cup, he did it against India and continued to do it in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) as well. In the CPL this year, Cottrell picked up 12 wickets in eight games while he was playing for St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. However, there was no one looking for the Jamaican-born pacer in The Hundred draft.

He went unsold despite his reserve price being just £40,000. However, Cottrell may just find some decent bids in the IPL auctions later this year. Cottrell’s ability to trouble the batsmen, both at the start and at the death can come in very handy.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-319470" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Hazratullah-Zazai-1.jpg" alt="Hazratullah Zazai" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-319470" class="wp-caption-text">Hazratullah Zazai. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Hazratullah Zazai may have made his T20I debut in December 2016 but it was not until February earlier this year, the left-handed opener gained limelight. In Dehradun, against Ireland, he went berserk and showed what he was capable of. Zazai smoked 162 off a mere 62 balls to gain all the attention.

Since then, he has been in and around the Afghanistan white-ball sides. However, he didn’t have a great World Cup which may be one of the reasons for his exclusion from The Hundred. Moreover, with three overseas players, it would’ve been tough for the Afghan opener to break into any squad.

However, Zazai has a very good T20 record. In fact, he averages 52.22 in T20Is and has a strike-rate of 173.43. Hence, he could well gain quite a bit of attention from IPL franchises. Thus, he could be in for a good bid in the upcoming IPL auction for the 2020 season.

There has been a lot of buzz around ECB’s new tournament and format, The Hundred. The draft took place recently and teams chose players instead of bidding for them. Thus, in the end, each of the eight teams has 15-member squads. However, 12 of them are local players and only three overseas players were allowed in one squad.

Unsold in The Hundred? No Problem. IPL 2020 Auction is on the way.

5 Unsold players in The Hundred draft who can get good bids in IPL 2020

There are certain players who don’t have IPL contracts either. But they have been doing well and hence, stand a chance of getting picked in the IPL Auction
